If you are wondering how to make oatmeal delicious and serve it to your kids, then this recipe is for you.
If you struggle to include healthy ingredients in kid's meals, then here is the trick to do so.
If kids reject healthy food, make this delicious healthy candy and they would happily finish these off soon.

This is a dry fruit fudge recipe that was transformed into a healthy toffee project.

This nutritious toffee recipe is packed with:

fiber-rich oats (yes, I have introduced oatmeal in this toffee as well - have talked in length about the benefits of oats for kids and adults alike)

power-packed healthy nuts, including almonds, sesame seeds, and walnuts that add flavor and nutty taste to these toffees

How to make toffee sauce: a heart healthy candy

Dry roast oats, poha, and murmura. Keep aside for cooling.
Dry roast almonds, walnuts, and fox nuts.
Grind nuts to powder. Then grind oats, poha, and murmura.
Mix everything.
Heat ghee in a pan. Drop in jaggery pieces or powder. Keep the flame at low.
Watch the jaggery melt. Add vinegar/salt/lime juice.
Then add water and mix quickly. You have to be careful with water. In fact, it is the water consistency that will decide whether you get a power-packed toffee or fudge. The water should be little less than what you normally add for burfi.This will determine that the fudge turns hard like a toffee.
Keep stirring until the mixture turns thick.
Immediately turn off the flame and pour into the pan all the dry powders.
Keep stirring and turn on the flame ..keep it low again.. Stir until the mixture combines into a ball or gathers at the center.
Quickly drop this mixture on an aluminum foil. Allow it to cool down. You may press it with a spatula when it is hot to make burfi/fudge or wait for 6-7 hours and then turn it into toffees.

Give shapes as per your wish and serve this nutritious oatmeal toffee to your kids. Trust me, they won't reject these yummy twisters!

It's anywhere, anytime health on our minds.Of course, the only drawback is we do not breathe healthy, for there are so many pollutants in air these days that you cannot step out of your home without a burqa!!

Anyway let's come back to the weight loss cookies recipe. Did I tell you this is a no baking powder cookie recipe?

If you are on a diet, one ingredient you MUST include in your meal plans is - oatmeal.There is no substitute - trust me!The fiber-rich oatmeal is a blessing for us …

A whole wheat sponge, that too, with minimum ingredients? No, I am not kidding. This baked beauty before you is the result of a successful experiment with whole grains. I am glad about the results. Now I can make guilt-free cakes and rusks for my loved ones. I am so happy to share the result and recipe with you all.
I wanted to make it a vegan whole wheat sponge. Unfortunately, I did not have coconut milk or almond milk handy at that time, so I preferred to go with dairy milk. But I am sure the result should be the same (rather, more flavorful) with dairy-free milk. I could add plain water too, but reserved the thought for another baking session.

If you want to learn how to make almond milk or coconut milk at home, it is quite simple. I never buy these from the market; rather, prefer to make everything at home.

Here I come with another recipe to contribute to my baking without baking powder/baking soda series - eggless gluten-free orange cookies.

When it comes to healthy cookies, I want to experiment with simple ingredients to give you a simple cookie recipe, which is easy to make/bake in a cooker, on a stovetop, and/or in an arifryer, oven, or convection. All of my cookie recipes can be tried with all appliances and equipment. You do not need fancy stuff here to bake deliciousness in your kitchen, do you? Na, you do not! Seriously.

Why need an electric mixer when you can prepare the dough with hands? After all, not everyone has the fortune to buy one. Worry not! These simple cookie recipes come to you with simple ingredients and require easily available equipment. Even a spoon/spatula can do the work of a whisk. In fact, when I did not have a hand whisk, I would use a spoon. I do have an electric whisk, but I a…
